The second, the cold light of the stars,symbol of the hypercosmical reality, with its crystal ecstasy. Strange that in this light, in which even the dearest love is frostily asserted, andeven the possible defeat of our half-waking world is contemplated without remission of praise, the human crisis does not lose but gainssignificance. Strange, that it seems more, not less, urgent to play some part in this struggle, this brief effort of animacules striving to win fortheir race some increase of lucidity before the ultimate darkness.
